My Feelings on Todays Sad Event!Posted Thursday, February 4, 2010, at 12:06 AM
First and foremost...prayers to the teens family.
I was raised on a ranch where guns were an everyday thing. We were taught to respect them and the power they can have. Our guns were kept loaded, but we were also taught from as far back as I can remember, that they could kill if played with. Heck we used them to hunt, so we all knew. It seems to me that if you have firearms in your home, you should have a sit down with your children, and teach them...IDK I'm just saying is all. But to too many people guns are "toys/status symbols" now...we have desensitized ourselves so much that some of us have lost the respect we should have for firearms. Let this be a lesson to us all, its not the guns that kill, its the ignorance people use around the guns. Nuff said...prayers and peace to the family!

Rantings...or views from my side.  - Archives - Blog RSS feed ![[Feed icon]](http://www.mountainhomenews.com/images/icons/feed-icon-14x14.png){kind=icon} - Comments RSS feed - Login I am/was a firefighter...structural then wildland. And as I say why be structured when you can go wild! I am married to an almost retired Air Force man, and we have 2 daughters. We lived on the base for 4 1/2 years but now we live in town. I love this place, and we are probably going to retire here. Woo Hoo! I like to consider myself smart, and savvy on the way things are, but like all of us...I have my moments. I work full time, and then I go to my job. As you can tell I have a different type of sense of humor, but most like it. In a nutshell, I am me and there is no defining me. I tell it like it is, and try, really try, to be tactful, but there is a time and place for everything and if you need it I will put you in your place.

It all DOES come down to respect and responsibility. And anytime now, I expect to see the great tirade of the anti-gunners using this as some kind of springboard for their rhetoric against those of us who own and carry.
Our young people die needlessly everyday from DUI's, substance abuse, physical batterings, etc, but if a gun is involved, even by accident................
I just posted an input on the MNH main story. There were already 29 inputs.
If a teen in killed this weekend in a DUI crash, or overdoses on drugs, it'll barely be mentioned.
This tragedy could have been prevented..........as MOST can. But it starts at home, it really does.
I agree with you both. What I do know for sure is, this is a sad agonizing time for both families, and for all of us watching. A child injured is the worst case. The child that has to live with is in a bad situation, along with his parents. I ache for the parents of the injured child. It's nothing less than devastating. I have lost a child, and it's something that is NEVER recovered from .... EVER.

My prayers go out to both families. It should be a serious wake up call to all people with firearms. It only takes a few minutes to teach the importance of firearm safety.
